Get yourself a Congressperson who won’t rob you blind for his billionaire best friends then brag about the pennies he put back in your pocket.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

It is now illegal to say the economy is bad. If you do, our beautiful, "hot" troops will shoot you in the face. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

We are literally on the doorstep of another 'Kent State'. 4 dead when all the shooting stopped. State sanctioned murder. Eight former Ohio National Guardsmen were indicted in 1974. But the case was dismissed mid-trial when the judge ruled the government's case was too weak to proceed. How convenient

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

“Sure Pam, if you want to call my 1st Amendment rights into question. Here’s one for you: when you were in Florida, what involvement did you have with Casey DeSantis & the obvious embezzlement that occurred under your leadership as AG of Florida?”

Does no one in Congress know how to do this right?

The Trump and Epstein statue is back up. At first It was taken down by the park service, but since the GOP has closed down the government, now there is nobody to take this one down.

Schumer: That issue that MAGA Mike keeps talking about—illegal immigrants getting health care. It’s an effing lie. The law says that federal dollars cannot go to illegal immigrants under Medicare, Medicaid, or the ACA.

And I said that to him in the room. I said, You’re lying. He smirked.
